If you are in Animal Science, please speak to Rebecca about program advice and support. Emmica Schlobohm will continue to advise students in the Veterinary program.

Q-FEVERQ-Fever is an infectious disease and the School has guidelines around Q-Fever vaccinations. It states that:Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Bioscience) students must be vaccinated against Q-Fever (unless initial skin test indicates pre-existing immunity).

Bachelor of Science (Animal Science) students are strongly advised to vaccinate against Q-Fever (unless initial skin test indicates pre-existing immunity).

For all new Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Bioscience) students you must be vaccinated by the last day of the first teaching period of their veterinary studies.

STUDENT REPSWe have a number of committees within the School that require student representatives. Thank you to all of our reps in 2017 – you did a fantastic job!

We will be working with the relevant student groups to appoint students to these positions soon.

We look forward to seeing you all on campus throughout the year and wish you every success in your studies. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any

ROYAL CANIN had a great year at

Roseworthy in 2017. We flew two

veterinarians to Adelaide from Melbourne

across three events run with the amazing


Companion Animal Special Interest Group

and Adelaide Veterinary Student

Association committees. These included a

‘lunch and learn’ on General Nutrition and

our ‘Dog Info Night’ with CASIG, as well

as an evening event on ‘Atopic Dermatitis

and Food Allergies’ with AVSA.

We also attended AVSA’s Industry Night

in second semester. In 2017 ROYAL

CANINâ also launched our new food

ordering platform ‘Vet World’, where

veterinary students could order discounted

ROYAL CANIN dog and cat food and

treats.

2018 will see even more involvement at

Roseworthy from ROYAL CANIN with

many exciting events and competitions

coming up, updates to our ‘Vet World’

ordering platform, and more!

Stay tuned by joining our Facebook group

“Royal Canin at the University of Adelaide”

and feel free to email

[email protected] with any

questions! I’m excited for 2018 and can’t

wait to see your new and returning faces

at our events this year

Your ROYAL CANIN Student

Ambassador, Anja Klingenberg..

Pig ClubThe Adelaide Uni Pig Club is a special interest group based on the Roseworthy campus. Our goal is to provide our members with an education in pig handling, and in the pig industry. We hold regular sessions with industry and animal professionals to help members to go beyond their university education and to build networks for the future, such as lunch and learn sessions and dissection workshops. Through Pig Club you will also be given the opportunity to attend and volunteer at events outside of regular University opportunities like the Royal Adelaide Show. On top of our educational events you will also get heaps of chances to get to know the other members at our social events like a movie night and Pig Club dinner.

Possibly the best feature of Pig Club is our own shelter on campus where we house a handful of pigs every year to be handled and raised by our members! (And, even better, you can take selfies with them!)

A 'must join' club for any Roseworthy students hoping to gain animal handling or industry experience, or even if you just want to visit the pigs at the end of a stressful day!

To join Pig Club find us at Roseworthy O'Night or contact us at [email protected].


Adelaide University Equine Special Interest GroupThe Adelaide University Equine Special Interest Group had a fabulous year in 2017, with over 90 veterinary and animal science students signing up and attending an array of events throughout the year. These included ‘lunch and learns’ by veterinarians and industry representatives, castration clinics, Hoof Care Day by ‘Wild about Hooves’ from Tasmania, Rural Prac Day with PASIG, the National Carriage Driving Championships and assisting at the Adelaide International 3 Day Event, among many more. Our wonderful 2018 committee has a lot in store for this year so don’t hesitate to sign up at any time throughout the year! For any questions or membership enquiries email [email protected]. ESIG looks forward to a great year with all the students at Roseworthy in 2018!
